Synopsis
Calls the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud AssociateAddress API operation.
Syntax
Register-EC2Address-InstanceId <String>-PublicIp <String>-AllocationId <String>-NetworkInterfaceId <String>-AllowReassociation <Boolean>-PrivateIpAddress <String>-Force <SwitchParameter>
Description
Associates an Elastic IP address with an instance or a network interface. Before you can use an Elastic IP address, you must allocate it to your account.
An Elastic IP address is for use in either the EC2-Classic platform or in a VPC. For more information, see Elastic IP Addresses in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
[EC2-Classic, VPC in an EC2-VPC-only account] If the Elastic IP address is already associated with a different instance, it is disassociated from that instance and associated with the specified instance. If you associate an Elastic IP address with an instance that has an existing Elastic IP address, the existing address is disassociated from the instance, but remains allocated to your account.
[VPC in an EC2-Classic account] If you don't specify a private IP address, the Elastic IP address is associated with the primary IP address. If the Elastic IP address is already associated with a different instance or a network interface, you get an error unless you allow reassociation. You cannot associate an Elastic IP address with an instance or network interface that has an existing Elastic IP address. This is an idempotent operation. If you perform the operation more than once, Amazon EC2 doesn't return an error, and you may be charged for each time the Elastic IP address is remapped to the same instance. For more information, see the Elastic IP Addresses section of Amazon EC2 Pricing.
Parameters
-AllocationId <String>
[EC2-VPC] The allocation ID. This is required for EC2-VPC.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | 3 |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-AllowReassociation <Boolean>
[EC2-VPC] For a VPC in an EC2-Classic account, specify true to allow an Elastic IP address that is already associated with an instance or network interface to be reassociated with the specified instance or network interface. Otherwise, the operation fails. In a VPC in an EC2-VPC-only account, reassociation is automatic, therefore you can specify false to ensure the operation fails if the Elastic IP address is already associated with another resource.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-InstanceId <String>
The ID of the instance. This is required for EC2-Classic. For EC2-VPC, you can specify either the instance ID or the network interface ID, but not both. The operation fails if you specify an instance ID unless exactly one network interface is attached.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | 1 |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByValue, ByPropertyName) |
-NetworkInterfaceId <String>
[EC2-VPC] The ID of the network interface. If the instance has more than one network interface, you must specify a network interface ID.For EC2-VPC, you can specify either the instance ID or the network interface ID, but not both.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | 4 |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByPropertyName) |
-PrivateIpAddress <String>
[EC2-VPC] The primary or secondary private IP address to associate with the Elastic IP address. If no private IP address is specified, the Elastic IP address is associated with the primary private IP address.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-PublicIp <String>
The Elastic IP address to associate with the instance. This is required for EC2-Classic.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | 2 |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
Common Credential and Region Parameters
-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key
if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
| Aliases | AK |
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information,
and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)
If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials. Note that the encrypted credential file is not supported on all platforms. It will be skipped when searching for profiles on Windows Nano Server, Mac, and Linux platforms.
If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.
As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
| Aliases | AWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation |
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing
credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential
file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also
specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with
the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
| Aliases | AWSProfileName, StoredCredentials |
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile.
Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the
configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the
user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key
if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
| Aliases | SecretAccessKey, SK |
-SessionToken <String>
The session token if the access and secret keys are temporary session-based
credentials.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
| Aliases | ST |
-Region <String>
The system name of the AWS region in which the operation should be invoked. For example, us-east-1, eu-west-1 etc.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
| Aliases | RegionToCall |
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.
Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
Inputs
You can pipe a String object to this cmdlet for the InstanceId parameter.
Outputs
This cmdlet returns a System.String object.
The service call response (type Amazon.EC2.Model.AssociateAddressResponse) can also be referenced from properties attached to the cmdlet entry in the $AWSHistory stack.
